Forecasts

I'll Be Your Clown (7/4), Pershing (2/1), Nampararoo (9/2), Juste Pour Nous (9/2), Grissom (12/1), Rolling Dice (14/1), The Land Agent (25/1), Sarakova (40/1), Gasoline (50/1), Rob's Legacy (66/1), L'Es Fremantle (200/1)

Pershing, Juste Pour Nous and Nampararoo could be the three to the fore in the early stages of this race, with the former two possibly having a couple of these in trouble at half way. I'LL BE YOUR CLOWN, should be a class apart against this poor bunch.
